A double-dose of karaoke tonight on American Idol as the kids sing a '60s song and then a song penned by Neil Sedaka, tonight's guest judge. So I guess the live band night is out this time around?

The singing goes about as you could expect. Josh does much better than last week but is clearly the bottom of the group. Trenyce uses hair and costume to the greatest effect possible, but can't seem to crack the top three of Ruben, Clay, and Kim Locke.

Assuming a bottom three, it'll be Josh, Trenyce, and Kim Locke. Kim will be spared, Josh will most likely go. It wouldn't surprise me if Trenyce went, I suppose, but I'll stick with the Corps' finest.

Neil Sedaka, by the way, makes an excellent judge. Good comments, and he even takes notes! They should get rid of Paula and her nonsense and keep Neil around.

In unrelated TV viewing, I would highly suggest the PBS reality show Manor House, where they take people and make them live as in Edwardian times. It's very interesting watching the people in both the upper and lower portions of the house (elites and servants, respectively) try to cope with what was commonplace just a century ago. Better than the usual reality crap, for certain.
